Description

ICING OR COATING COMPOSITION
This invention relates to an icing or coating composition for edible products such as baked goods including snack items such as biscuits, cookies and cakes.
A coating or icing is sometimes applied to food products such as sugar-containing baked goods. The coating or icing is often a mixture comprising fat and sugar. Chocolate-like coatings and icings typically also contain cocoa powder to give the colour and taste of chocolate.
There is a desire amongst many consumers to reduce the quantity of saturated fat in the diet. However, since saturated fat contributes to the physical and organoleptic properties of the coating or icing, replacing saturated fat can be technically challenging. This is particularly so when an icing or coating must meet other requirements such as setting relatively quickly and remaining flexible so that the icing or coating does not crack when the iced or coated product is subjected to minor mechanical shock during handling or transport.
US 7,645,473 discloses a vegetable fat composition that can be used in an icing composition for baked goods. The presence of a liquid oil is optional and in the examples 36 % liquid oil is used in the composition.
WO 2004/112492 describes a process for the production of a fat composition suitable for use as a confectionery fat, wherein a starting fat composition which contains between 20 and 95wt% of S2U, less than 75wt% of SU2+U3, less than 20wt% of S3 between 1 and 12wt% of diglycerides, between 10 and 100 wt% of at least one interesterified fat, the interesterified fat containing less than 15wt% of C-12 with respect to the total amount of interesterified fat, is subjected to a catalytic hydrogenation so as to obtain a first fat and in that the first fat is incorporated in the fat composition.
US 2008/0206413 describes a puff pastry preparation containing a fat which principally comprises palm olein, preferably interesterified.
WO 2009/012888 also relates to a laminating fat for use in dough such as puff pastry.
There remains a need for icing and coating compositions that have a low saturated fatty acid (SAFA) content but that can provide an organoleptically acceptable, flexible coating for edible products having an acceptable setting time, particularly for baked goods including baked confectionery snack items such as biscuits, cookies and cakes.
According to the invention, there is provided an icing or coating composition for edible products comprising at least 30 % by weight sugar and at least 20 % by weight of a fat blend, wherein the fat blend comprises from 12 to 25 % by weight SOO and from 7 to 15% SOL based on the total weight of triglycerides present and the fat blend has a saturated fatty acid content of less than 45 % by weight based on the total C12 to C24 fatty acids present and a monounsaturated fatty acid content in the range of from 40 % to 60 % by weight based on the total C12 to C24 fatty acids present, and wherein S is saturated fatty acid having 12 to 24 carbon atoms, O is oleic acid and L is linoleic acid.
Also provided by the invention is an iced or coated edible product comprising a base product and an icing or coating, wherein the icing or coating is a composition of the invention.

°C)
2. ) Weigh out the sugar, cocoa powder and milk powder together in a Hobart bowl, and then blend for 5 minutes, on 1st speed.
3.) Add approximately one half of the melted fat until the mixture just comes together, but not wet, paste-like. Turn off the mixer.
4. ) Take the mixture to the refiner and run once through the 3 roll refiner.
5. ) Place refined mass in a clean Hobart bowl and add the E. vanillin, lecithin, and about one half of the remaining fat to the mass.
6.) Mix on 1st speed for 3 to 5 minutes, then stop the mixer, scrape the bowl and change to 2nd speed.
7. ) Mix on 2nd speed for 5 minutes or until the mixture is smooth. Stop mixer. Scrape bowl and change back to 1st speed.
8. ) Add the remaining fat and mix until desired "conching" effect is achieved.
Conching time is usually from 30 to 60 minutes. Example 2
The coating composition was applied to cupcakes in a cooling tunnel.
• The speed of the cooling tunnel was measured using a tachometer.
• The length of the cooling is 19.7 ft (6 m).
